Cockroach Pest Control Services

Are cockroaches invading your home or business? Any pest infestation is unwelcome, but cockroaches pose serious health risks. Cockroaches are known to spread dangerous bacteria, such as E.coli and can trigger allergies. They pose a risk to the health and safety of those who come into contact with any food or surfaces where cockroaches are present. Cockroaches can have serious consequences for a business’s reputation too, especially if the business is involved in food preparation. The team at Xpress Pest Control is here to help. By choosing an Xpress cockroach exterminator, you’re choosing experienced professionals who provide effective, and long-lasting solutions to eliminate these challenging pests from your property. We can be with you between 30 to 90 minutes* of your call.

Why You Need Professional Cockroach Pest Control

Cockroaches have a reputation for being survivors. They can live for weeks without food, thrive in dirty or clean environments, and even resist many over-the-counter insecticides. DIY methods often fail to remove the infestation completely. Shop-bought solutions can, in the long run, just prolong the problem. The Xpress cockroach pest control specialists will deliver professional treatment services that will target your specific cockroach problem. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we may use a combination of solutions, but they target cockroaches at every life stage, including nests and eggs. Your Xpress cockroach exterminator can also provide expert advice on how to prevent future infestations, for example, sealing entry points, improving sanitation practices, and reducing moisture in key areas. We may schedule a follow-up visit to ensure the infestation is fully under control.

What Types of Cockroaches Are Most Common in The UK?
The two most common types of cockroaches found in UK homes and businesses are:

German cockroach (Blattella germanica): Small, light brown with two dark stripes on their back. They thrive in warm, humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis): Larger, dark brown or black, and often found in cool, damp places such as basements or drains.
How Do You Treat Cockroach Problems?
Cockroach infestations are treated with a water-based insecticide. The treatment is sprayed around the infected area. The engineer may also apply a sticky paste into drinking straws and place these around area.​

Once the cockroaches ingest the bait, they will start to die. The remaining cockroaches will feed on the dead bodies and, in turn, ingest the poison. For this reason, the bodies should not be removed from the site.​

An insect detector device will then be used to determine whether the infestation remains. If the detector finds that there is no activity, any remaining dead bodies can be removed and disposed of. ​

In the instance of an Oriental cockroach infestation, it is advised that adjoining properties are treated.
What are the Signs of a Cockroach Problem?
The key signs are:

Droppings: Small, dark droppings can be found in areas where roaches are active.

Egg Casings: Roaches leave behind oval-shaped egg casings, often found in hidden places.

Smell: A strong, musty odour is a telltale sign of a serious cockroach infestation.

Sightings: Cockroaches are nocturnal, so seeing one during the day can mean a larger infestation.
Can I Use DIY Treatments?
DIY approaches may seem like a more financially sound option, but cockroaches have a reputation for being extremely tough and hard to eradicate. And for good reason. They can live for long periods without food, are happy in clean and unsanitary environments, and many over-the-counter insecticides don’t work.

Xpress cockroach pest control is a professional service that targets the entire infestation, including nests and eggs.

Time spent waiting for DIY methods to work can just prolong your problem potentially risking your health or your business's reputation.
How Do I Stop Cockroaches Returning?
Seal entry points such as cracks, crevices, and gaps around windows and doors.

Keep your home clean, especially the kitchen, by storing food in sealed containers and cleaning up spills immediately.
Fix leaks and reduce moisture in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.

Regularly empty bins and avoid leaving dirty dishes or pet food out overnight.
Is Your Service Discreet?
We understand the urgency and nature of any cockroach pest control. You want the problem fixed quickly and with as little disruption as possible. What’s more, you don’t want the world to know you have a pest issue. The exterminators at Xpress work fast to return your home or business to normal as soon as possible.
